To make things a little bit easier I have compiled a simple checklist of symptoms that are experienced by those with Rosacea. Do you suffer from really sensitive skin? Does your skin have a hard time tolerating skincare and cosmetics? Do you regularly breakout in a flush or blush? And when you do blush, does the redness last longer than 15 minutes? Do you have redness on cheek and nose area that doesn’t ever diminish? When you are stressed out does your skin redden and become extra temperamental? Do you have any broken blood vessels on your face? Do you have any little red spots that don’t seem to heal? Have you ever suffered really bad (and I mean peeling/blistering bad?) sunburn in the past? Are your eyes quite sensitive to sunlight? Do extremes of temperature (either sticky summer heat or freezing winters) cause your skin to suffer long term redness? Does just a few moments in the sun cause your skin to flush and does the redness then last for a day or so? If you eat hot, spicy food

Rosacea has to be the number one skin condition I get questioned about. It affects so many and can be a stressful and really upsetting condition to deal with. So I'm devoting the next few posts to share some information that I hope will help you to take control and make some better choices for your skin. What Is Rosacea? Rosacea is an inflammatory skin disorder linked to the vascular system (hence the redness). It’s characterized by reddening of the skin (and sometimes swelling). It generally appears on the face (usually around cheeks & nose in a tell tale butterfly pattern ), forehead, chin, ears & neck, but can also appear on the chest & back. It’s a condition that at the start can be easily misdiagnosed; sometimes the redness is taken for an allergic reaction to skincare, sunburn or even acne. It’s a grown up skin condition as it tends to strike the over 30’s. Those with fair or Celtic skin types are most likely to suffer from Rosacea and women are more susceptible

I really can't believe how much positive press reaction my little range continues to gather. All I can say is a huge, huge, HUGE thank you!
